"A seam running down the back making

trimmed very simply with little firm silk

A Story About Old Bullion.

Mr.. Murphy, a veteran stenographer OF
the senate, has sold me a story about
Thomas Fl. Benton 1 had never heard
before. There has always been a dispute
whether congress should adjourn at mid
night of the Sd of March or at noon on
the 4th. The latter idea has prevailed,
although for many years there was a
struggle over it each year. Mr.. Benton
was one of those who insisted that the
session expired with the calendar day at
midnight on the Sd of March, and he
used regularly to raise the point. One
year when Orr, of South Carolina, was in
the chair Mr.. Benton arose at midnight
to point of order, and declared that in
his opinion the legal existence of the
senate had expired. Orr asked if the
senator from Missouri insisted upon his
point of order that he was not longer
senator, Benton's term expiring that day
Mr.. Benton responded that he did.
"Then," cried Orr, "the sergeant.at'
arms will remove the gentleman from the
floor, as by his own confession he is not
entitled to it."
The sally was greeted with laughter
and Mr.. Benton responded that with the
permission of the senator from South
Carolina he would claim his privilege as
an ex-member of the senate and remain

Startling Discovery.

RALEIGH, N. O., March 81. @:
Winner, the we'll known matchmaker of
Wilmington, reports remarkable dis.
covery. In taking observations of the
sun in his business Of regulating and ad.
justing chronometers for masters of yes.
sells arriving at Wilmington, he found on
the Sd inst. that the mean solar time was
10 minutes 10 6.10 seconds slower than
it was on the 35th of February, when
observations were last taken. Winner is
satisfied that his instruments we're in
perfect order and his calculations correct,
and was particular in having the latter
verified by competent parties. Yesterday
he telegraphed the result of his observa'
tions to the national observatory.
If Winner is correct in his observations
and calculations, this loss of time shows
that the earth has been retarded in its
revolutions in six days-from the 25th to
March 3-ten minutes and ten and six
tenths seconds.
This loss of time makes difference o.
over hundred and fifty.two miles in
calculating longitude.

T. Bishops Great Feat. .

NEW YORK, March 6.-Irviug Bishop,
mindreader, gave a public exhibition
yesterday. A party gathered at the
Hoffman House, and Bishop requested
four gentlemen to act as committee.
They were Colonel Thomas w. Knox,
Dr.. Hoyt, H. O. Bunner, of Puck, and
Henry Guy Carlton, of the Word.
He took scarf pin from Mrs. Frank
Leslie, which he gave to the committee
and told them to take it to any place
they might designate within mile Of
the hotel and concealit. The committee
drove off in carriage, and were gone
about half an hour. On their return,
Mr.. Bishop asked one of the committee
to blindfold him. This was done by
tying cotton batting around his eyes.
Then a black bag was put over his head
and fastened around his neck. The car.
risge was waiting at the door and in this
Bishop and the three members of the
committee took seats and Bishop took
the reins and drove off through a great
crowd of people and vehicles, guiding
the horses with remarkable dexterity,
considering that he could not use his
eyes. He drove almost directly to
Gramercy Park Hotel, into which he
turned without hesitation. He walked
into room and placed his hand on. 9

under the vase was the scarf pin. The
success of the exhibition was surprising

Now copy from your several lists one
item from each, upon another list, which
is to be your program. Begin again,
taking the studies in the same order as
before. Vary this rule in favor OF the
more difficult branches. For instance, if
twice as many lessons are to be given in
geography as in composition, take from
longer list twice as often as from the
shorter. Copy enough of these items to
furnish you with about two weeks work,
and cover as much ground as possible
each day. At the end of the two weeks,
adjustments can be made in favor Of
studies that seem to prosper less than
others under the program. This plan is
ez,ecially recommended for classes to
whom but little home work is assigned

Value Of Salt.

Salt in the whitewash will make it
stick better.
Wash the mica of the stove doors with
salt and vinegar.
Brass WORK can be kept beautifully
bright by occasionally rubbing with salt
and vinegar.
To clean willow furniture, uae salt and
water. Apply it with nail brush,
scrub we'll and dry thoroughly.
If, after having tooth pulled, the
mouth is filled with salt and water, it
will allay all the danger of having a
hemorhsge.
Salt as tooth powder is better than
almost anything that can be bought. It
keeps the teeth brilliantly white and the
gums hard and rosy.
To wash silk handkerchiefs, soak them
FIRST in cold salt and water for ten min.
utes, or longer, then wssh out in the
same water and iron Immediately.
Carpets may be greatly frightened by
first sweeping thoroughly and then going
over them with a clean cloth and clear
salt and water. Use cupful of coarse
salt to large basin of water.
Nothing is better for sore throat than
gargle of salt and water. 1t may be
used as often as desired, and if little is
swallowed each time it is used it will
cleanse the throat and allay the irritation.
Salt, in doses of one to four teaspoon
fuls in half pint to pint of tepid
water, is an emetic always on hand.
This is also the antidote to be used after
poisoning from nitrate of silver while
waiting for the doctor to come.
If the feet are tender Or painful after
long walking or standing, great relief
can be had by bathing them in salt and
water. A handful Of salt to gallon of
water is the right proportion. Have the
water as hot as can comfortably be bore.
Immerse the feet, and throw the water
over the legs as far as the knees with the
hands. When the water becomes too
cool, rub briskly with a flesh towel.
This method, if used night and morning,
will cure neuralgia of the feet.-Gooa

Art Thou the Man.

There is an old story of certain min.
lister who, in arranging his toilet for his
parochial calls, found button gone from
his shirt collar, and all at once the good
mans patience left him. He fretted and
scolded, and said undignified and unkind
things, until the tired wife burst into
tears and escaped to her room. The
hours of the afternoon wore away, during
which the paraon called upon old brother
Jones, who was all bowed down with
rheumatism and found him patient and
ever cheerful; upon young brother Hall,
wasting away with consumption, and
found him anxious to 60 and be with
Christ; upon good old grandmother
Smith, in her poor miserable hovel of a
home, and found her singing one of the
good old hymns, as happy as a bird /;
upon young Mrs. Brown, who had few
weeks before buried her only child, and
found her trustful and serene in the view
of Gods love which had come to her
through afliction. The Minister went
home filled with what he had seen, and
when evening came, and he ws.s seated
in his easy chair, his good wife near him
busy with her needles, be could not help
saying, "Wbat a wonderful thing grace

derful q! It can do all things" Then the
little wife said, "Yes it is wonderful,
indeed; but there is one thing the grace
of God does not seem TO have the power
to do." "Ah, what can that be?" said
the husband. "Why, it does not seem to
have power to control a minister's temper
when a shirt button is gone" This was
new version of the doctrine of grace to
the parson, but it vas such version as
many another religious man needs to
remember. There is many man who
can stand up before multitude and
s'confess Christ" who can be most meek
when insulted in some public place; who
can rub his hands and bless God for the
power of religion but who is too weak
to keep his temper at home. The value

Very Glad to see William.

w. J. Cooper left his wife on his farm
in Yell County, Ark, in 1868, and Joined
the Confederate army. Shortly after he
was captured by the Union men and sent
to Illinois, but he escaped and returned
to Yell County to see his wife. She had
left the farm about two months after her
husband Joined the army, and gone no
one knew where. Cooper then became a
tramp, and he has since visited most
every country on this continent. One
day last week he wandered into Shiloh,
Ark, where he was surprised by seeing
his wife standing Oh the steps of one Of
the houses beckoning him to come to
her. Subsequently be learned that his
wife had ventured upon the sea OF
matrimony three times since she left the
farm in Yell County. The first two hus'
bands died, and she secured divorce
from the third. She was very glad Ia
